Want YouTube stardom? Scandalise the Church...

Jessica DelfinoSome things never change. Remember when Radio 1 DJ Mike Read smashed a copy of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's 'Relax' live on air, outraged at its lyrical content? And how the furore only served to ensure the song shot straight to the top of the charts?

Well, it seems YouTube isn't so different. 'Dirty Folk' comic Jessica Delfino claims to be awash with hits for the video to her song 'My Pussy is Magic', thanks to a denunciation from the Catholic League. It's been whipped off YouTube twice, apparently, but the renamed 'Jessica Delfino Is Magic' version now has over 45,000 views.

I'll be honest, the song's a bit pish, and her rapping makes Robbie Williams sound like Rakim. But it's renewed proof that even in this new Web 2.0 world, sex sells. Especially if you can get a guy in a robe to denounce it. Check Jessica's video below.
